  Governing Body prefers property over prayers, songs and use of bible (Mexico)

  by krismalone in

  2. scandals

  for many years the government of mexico did not allow religious organizations to own property.

  any property used by a religious organization was confiscated by the government.

  this law changed in the mid 1990's.

  I don't know what's more corrupt, the governing body or the government of Mexico.

  Which songs give you goosebumps?

  i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?

  ', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.

  y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.

  How can a building dedicated to God, be sold?

  by krismalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just wondering this morning about all the kingdom halls and branches being sold to "babylon the great" and other businesses.

  every single kingdom hall and bethel branch that has been sold was "dedicated to jehovah" by the watchtower corporation.

  a special meeting with a guest speaker gives a talk and then offers a prayer dedicating the building to yhwh.

  i do like the usa but winters suck!

  florida has some charm but it gets brutal with heat and humidity.

  california is too looney.

  I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but have been living in Ohio for most of the last 14 years. Ohio is not that bad if you have a decent job. You could live comfortably and the politics are sensible (not too far left or right). You typically don't have to worry about hurricanes, wild fires, volcanos, earthquakes or tsunamis. The weather can be brutal in the winter, especially along Lake Erie.

  With that being said, I wouldn't mind having a house on the Chesapeake Bay somewhere between the Potomac and York Rivers in Virginia. But I can't afford it lol.

  at 95 , queen elizabeth is one sharp lady.

  she lauded those people that helped break up a terrorist attack.

  she didn’t take any crap from prince andrew and told him to take a hike.

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  I got my associate's degree a few years after I graduated from high school. It certainly worked out for me. I feel that if it wasn't for the "bad press" that college has gotten from J-Dubs, I would have gotten a bachelor's degree or higher.

  Ewart Chitty

  by NoAbuse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.

  the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.

  the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

  2. relationships

  i was seeing a jw man for about a year and a half until l broke it off with him last week.

  we met on a dating site.

  he shouldn’t have been on there, of course, but he was lonely.

  Hey Probablyshouldrun:

  You probably should run. Especially if you feel that he would drop you if a JW woman was interested in him. I know it sucks, but it sounds like you would be off in the long run.
